THE need for quality, affordable properties for those wanting to make the important step on to the property ladder is vital for the future of the North’s housing stock.
The Admiral, built by Holystone Homes, won the Best Starter Home category.
The judges praised the development, saying the overall design fitted in well within the village.
The Admiral was seen as a particularly impressive starter home – good value, with good use of space, excellent detail, good storage and a practical design created for living in.
Alan Lowery, regional construction manager of Holystone Homes, said: “Holystone Homes is delighted to have won. The competition was stronger than ever this year and being a relatively small house builder makes this achievement even more satisfying.
“The starter home has become a vital area of house building due to the state of the market and we will be investing in it heavily during the foreseeable future. Our aim is to provide quality, affordable homes with an emphasis on good design, excellent use of space including good storage and practical layout.
“We believe the coming year will be an even more challenging one and all of the region’s house builders will need to raise the bar to achieve success in these increasingly competitive and much sought-after awards.”
